Dijon mustard with maple syrup isn’t the most obvious flavor combination, but drizzled over baked salmon fillets and topped off with some fresh greens, it totally works. Jonny isn’t a huge fan of fish, but he really enjoyed the distinct sweetness of the maple syrup with the bite of the grainy mustard.
